Recenzii
One of those books so intensely alive in the past that it makes the world you actually live in feel flimsy and thin. McMahon combines a thriller writer's grip, pace and punch with the true novelist's depth and warmth of feeling
A well-plotted, beautifully written tale which makes the point that everyone was a victim of the Great War
a fantastic read: moving, gripping,absorbing and thrillingly sexy.. a skilful, highly atmospheric drama of guilt, passion and consequences.. the kind of book you never want to end
Compulsively readable... McMahon skilfully weaves the different strands of the complicated plot into a compelling and moving mystery story
McMahon vividly recreates the stifled atmosphere of the period, sympathetically portraying the dilemmas faced by women
An absorbing and deftly woven tale, which impressively captures the spirit of the early 1920s... a cracking good read
A real treat and bound to enhance her reputation
Four stars: "Haunted by the loss of her brother in the First World War, Evelyn is shocked when someone appears with a boy, apparently a nephew"
